Quantum Information Science & Technology (QIST) encompasses the understanding, design, construction and investigation of quantum information processing systems, such as quantum computers, quantum communication networks, and quantum sensors.

Op 4 september promoveert Elisabeth J. Kerr. Het Leiden University Centre for Linguistics feliciteert Elisabeth!

Combinatorial games are games for two competing players, moving in a turn-by-turn fashion, in which there is no chance nor hidden information⁠. Chess, checkers and the simpler tic tac toe are well-known examples of this class of games, as well as game of go⁠.

Healthcare Information Systems (HIS) are essential for modern healthcare delivery, yet their development faces significant challenges including heterogeneous data formats, regulatory compliance, and the growing demand for AI-driven decision support.

Systems with local constraints is a new finding in recent researches on complex systems. The heterogeneous spatial interactions and the temporal dependencies among those numerous units make it difficult to describe by traditional statistical physics.

With the emergence of online social networks (OSNs), the way people create and share information has changed, which becomes faster and broader than traditional social media.

The four possible segments A, T, C and G that link together to form DNA molecules, and with their ordering encode genetic information, are not only different in name, but also in their physical and chemical properties.

In this dissertation, we study partition-based models that can be used both for interpretable predictive modeling and for understanding data via interpretable patterns.

This study has been carried out in the community of Sukamiskin, a kelurahan (‘village’) in Bandung, the Capital of West Java Province, located in the Sunda Region of Indonesia.

Laatste technologische ontwikkelingen op het gebied van datamining en profilering.

In dit artikel wordt het concept van probleemprioritering binnen de context van bestuurskundig onderzoek verkend.

Op 20 maart 2019 verdedigde Tim Dekkers zijn proefschrift 'Mobility, Control and Technology in Border Areas: Discretion and Decision-making in the Information Age'. Het promotieonderzoek is begeleid door promotoren prof. dr. J.P. van der Leun en prof. dr. M.A.H. van der Woude.

This thesis develops statistical methods for the analysis of high dimensional data: high dimensional networks reconstruction (Chapters 1-4), incorporation of prior information in networks reconstruction (Chapters 2-4), incorporation of prior knowledge in genetic association studies (Chapter 3).

In the traditional theory of linear elasticity, superposition dictates that the response of a material does not depend on the sequence of the applied mechanical actuations.

Announcement of a new publication by Janneke Verheijen, lecturer at the Institute of Cultural Anthropology and Development Sociology.

Dit project gaat over (1) hoe de strategieën die gebruikt worden om epistemiciteit uit te drukken verschillen in hun interpretatie en gebruik; (2) welke strategieën kunnen gecombineerd worden en tot welke effecten dit leidt; (3) wat de uitdrukking van (verschillende aspecten van) epistemiciteit ons…

Why do black holes emit thermal radiation? And how does a closed quantum system thermalize?

Dit proefschrift onderzoekt de reactie van de Europese Unie op het groeiende probleem van desinformatie. Het gebruikt deze casus om kritisch te analyseren hoe samenlevingen informatie-uitdagingen zoals

To what extent can digital technologies be considered as authorities?

Promotor: Prof.dr. C.W.J. Beenakker

DNA carries various forms of information. Out of these forms of information the most well-known is classical genetic information.

De onderzoeksgroep Digital Archaeology beheert twee computerlaboratoria voor verschillende doeleinden: een onderwijslab en een onderzoekslab.

Humans perceive the real world through their sensory organs: vision, taste, hearing, smell, and touch. In terms of information, we consider these different modesalso referred to as different channels of information or modals.

Vandaag de dag liggen statistische methodes aan de grondslag van beslissingen in allerlei facetten van het leven, van de gezondheidszorg en agricultuur tot de financiële sector en marketing.

Our recent excavations have focused on the more recent New Kingdom/Late Period (ca. 1500-332 BCE) material.

In het academisch jaar 2023-2024 biedt het interdisciplinaire onderzoeksprogramma Sociale Veerkracht en Veiligheid vier vakken aan voor studenten die beginnen met het derde jaar van hun bachelor. Deze vakken zijn te volgen binnen de ruimte voor keuzevakken. Je kunt de vakken afzonderlijk als keuzevak…

The elementary excitations of magnets are called spin waves, and their corresponding quasi-particles are known as magnons. The rapidly growing field of Magnonics aims at using them as information carriers in a new generation of electronic devices, (almost) free of electric currents.

The first direct detection of gravitational waves opened the possibility of mapping the Universe via this new and independent messenger.

IoT technology poses serval opportunities to supply chains. This thesis employs grey correlation and forecasting models, system dynamics, agent-based modeling, and ex-ante LCA to investigate and quantify the opportunities and risks of IoT-enabled sustainable supply chain operations from both industrial…

In this project of the Center for Public Values & Ethics (CPVE) ongoing research is conducted on the history of advice to Dutch central government by so-called State committees from 1814 to 2014. State committees have been installed by Dutch central government since 1814 to provide expert advice, research…
